Looking for a place to learn more about genealogy and how to do family research? Lunch & Learn is simply the best place to do just that. Free and open to the public, it is one of the most popular educational programs. We help promote this with SCGS, so join in as soon as possible. Please see our blog for information. |
GENEALOGY GARAGE WORKSHOPS
The Chapter co-hosts the monthly Genealogy Garage workshop at the Richard Riordan Central Library in downtown Los Angeles on the morning of the third Saturday of the month (except December). One of the good things to come out of our COVID year was the explosive popularity of online programming. Genealogy Garage—the library's monthly genealogy session—has taken the plunge, too. You can tune in thru their YouTube or Facebook page! Their programs cover a diverse variety of topics related to the genealogical world, and we will continue to add more as they take place.
